AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Dean uses dendrochronology along with palynology and alluvial chronostratigraphic environmental reconstructions to help reconstruct the paleoenvironment on the Colorado Plateau. 'Briefly the model identifies a fluvial system with a natural tendency toward aggregation and ground water accretion that is modified by various climatic factors, particularly precipitation and spatial climatic variability.' (page 163).
